Chapter 379 Wilderness Town
Dongzhou, a wilderness town. There are many towns like this in the whole Dongzhou. Basically, they are small families and independent cultivators who earn a little hard-earned money for their livelihood. Some monks passing by will come here to rest and get information. This wilderness town is one of them on the road from Yu Lei Zong to Yancheng. The town is very small. Looking from top to bottom, there are only 20 to 30 houses, and the people are pitifully few.
Pan Chengfeng flew all the way. Although he had strong magic power, he couldn't hold on to flying for four days and four nights while holding a person. Seeing a place to rest, Pan Chengfeng landed directly at the entrance of the town, put Shuang'er down and said, "Let's find a place to rest and drink a cup of spiritual tea." Shuang'er naturally wouldn't object. These days were the happiest days of her life. Pan Chengfeng didn't get angry because of her willfulness. Instead, he followed her in everything, which made her very satisfied.
Pan Chengfeng randomly found an inn and went in, shouting: "Give me the best spiritual tea, and some of your special dishes~" The waiter was only at the foundation-building stage, and when he heard that there was a customer coming, he hurriedly greeted him: "Sir, please come in. We don't have any dishes in this inn, only spiritual fruits. How about you try some?" Pan Chengfeng looked the waiter up and down and said: "You haven't practiced fasting yet? What would you eat without vegetables?" The waiter said awkwardly: "I brought some dry food with me, enough for me to eat until my shift is over."
Pan Chengfeng frowned and asked, "What other services do you provide?" The waiter introduced, "Small town inns like ours generally provide accommodation, as well as spiritual tea and spiritual fruit. As for accommodation, we have nice rooms with small spiritual gathering arrays, but the cost is not cheap." Pan Chengfeng nodded and said, "Oh, then give me a pot of spiritual tea and a few plates of spiritual fruit~"
Shuang'er saw that Pan Chengfeng seemed quite disappointed, so she comforted him, "Master, just order whatever you want when you are away from home. When we get to Yancheng, I will make you a feast of beast meat!" Pan Chengfeng pinched Shuang'er's pretty face and said with a smile, "You still care about me. I haven't eaten well these days and I am starving~"
After a while, the waiter came with a pot of spiritual wine and two plates of spiritual fruits. After putting down the things, the waiter smiled and said, "Sir, three top-grade crystal beads, thank you for your patronage." Pan Chengfeng's eyes bulged and he screamed, "Three top-grade crystal beads? Are you sure you're right? Not low-grade crystal beads?" The waiter explained, "Yes, it's three top-grade crystal beads. Our store has been operating here for hundreds of years, and the price is always this."
Pan Chengfeng looked at the things on the table and sneered, "Waiter, you are not thinking of ripping me off just because I am from another place, are you? Three top-grade crystal beads are more than enough to buy out your store, not to mention these low-end rubbish!" Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper beside him hurried over and said, "Is this your first time stopping in a small town like this in the wild?"
Pan Chengfeng looked up and saw that the shopkeeper was a middle-aged man with Nascent Soul cultivation. Pan Chengfeng did not give him face and said angrily, "Why? Do you want to be ripped off for the first time?" The shopkeeper explained hurriedly, "Sir, you have misunderstood. Our small inn has few guests all year round. It is called an inn, but in fact it is more of an inn to provide information to the distinguished guests." Hearing this, Pan Chengfeng slowly put away his anger and said, "So that's the case. Then do you have any news? Tell me~"
The shopkeeper said, "Of course there is some, but I don't know what kind of news you want to know?" Pan Chengfeng smiled and said, "It seems that you have collected a lot of gossip. Then I would like to ask about Yancheng. Is there anything going on recently?" The shopkeeper said in embarrassment, "Of course there is news in Yancheng, but three high-grade crystal beads are not enough for this news. Ten high-grade crystal beads are needed."
Pan Chengfeng casually took out a storage bag and threw it directly to the shopkeeper, saying, "Tell me everything you know about Yancheng, especially about those noble families." The shopkeeper's consciousness scanned the storage bag and he almost fainted with joy. One hundred top-grade crystal beads! This is more than what he earned from working here for ten years! He must have met a wealthy man!
The shopkeeper happily put away the storage bag and said, "Sir, if you want to know the news about Yancheng, then you have come to the right person. Yancheng used to be the Ximen family, the Nian family..." Pan Chengfeng interrupted, "No need to talk about these, just tell me the latest news." The shopkeeper hurriedly said, "The latest thing is, of course, the ancestor of the Nian family, Nian Changxing, has made a breakthrough! He has become one of the most advanced cultivators in the Great Zhou world! Tomorrow, Nian Changxing will hold a banquet at the Nian Family Villa, and all forces in Yancheng have been invited to attend!"
Pan Chengfeng didn't know why, but his eyelids twitched a few times after hearing the news. He didn't say anything, and just stood up and left. Shuang'er followed him and asked, "What's wrong with the young master? Don't you want to take a rest?" Pan Chengfeng said, "I don't know either, but after hearing the news, I felt uneasy and felt that something was going to happen." Shuang'er worriedly said, "Could it be that Sister Qian'er is in trouble? Why didn't you send a message to the young master?"
Pan Chengfeng also wondered, "It should be like this, unless... Damn it! Shuang'er, hold tight, the young master is going to fly at full speed!" Pan Chengfeng grabbed Shuang'er's legs, thunder roared, and he disappeared with a whoosh. The innkeeper was startled by the sound and shivered, "It's... It's... It's a disciple of the Yu Lei Sect!" The innkeeper patted his chest and thought to himself, "Fortunately, I didn't have any bad thoughts just now, otherwise it would be over!"
Pan Chengfeng's current lightning speed has reached 3500 kilometers per hour, which is nearly three times the speed of sound. At this speed, it will take less than a day to reach Yancheng. However, the more this happened, the more uneasy Pan Chengfeng felt. He thought to himself, "With the two Tianci brothers here, no one in Yancheng can hurt Qian'er. Even if that young man Changxing blew himself up, he couldn't hurt Qian'er, unless... Yu family! If I don't kill you, I'll take your surname!"
The Nian Family Villa in Yancheng was particularly lively today. The servants of the Nian Family were working very hard, and a group of servants and maids were preparing for the banquet. They were so happy. The Nian Family had not been so lively for many years. Since the ancestor of the Nian Family was injured and went into seclusion, the family had entered a period of silence. It seemed as if they were separated from Yancheng. Even when the servants went out, they could not hold their heads high like before, and had to behave themselves.
Things are different now. The ancestor of the Nian family suddenly broke through. This news is undoubtedly great news. The lower and upper level clansmen of the Nian family are overjoyed, but the upper level people of the family can't be happy at all. In the secret room of the Nian family, Nian Changxing looked at the eight Nian family's incarnation cultivators below and said: "It's my fault. The family will rely on you in the future. Once this matter is over, you will follow the head of the family to escape. I will buy time for everyone." Nian Xiongying choked up and said: "Don't worry, ancestor, Ying'er will take them to start over and will not let the Nian family's incense be cut off." Nian Changxing waved his hand and said: "Go, get everything ready, the guests are coming soon."
Fuguang Town, Yancheng, Zhongjialou. Qian'er was wearing a red dress, followed by two people, one was Qing'er, in the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation. The other was Zhou Ru, the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation, who was hired by the Zhong family in recent years. In order to attract the priest, the Zhong family paid a high price, one million high-quality crystal beads a year, which was twice the market price! But now the Zhong family is not short of money. In addition to the two in the open, the brothers Hong Tianci and Hong Renjie also followed Qian'er, but they hid themselves, and ordinary cultivators could not find them.
With such a configuration, not to mention the Great Zhou Kingdom, which of the noble families in the nearby countries can compare? Qing'er was still a little worried, and sent a voice transmission: "Sister, since you know that the Nian family has bad intentions, why do you still go there in person? If my brother-in-law is here, he will never let you take risks." Qian'er smiled and replied: "The Nian family has a new cultivator, which is a good thing for the Great Zhou Kingdom. Invite me to the banquet. If I don't go, people will gossip about me. After all, the Zhong family is now the number one family in the Great Zhou Kingdom and controls the Great Zhou Kingdom." Seeing that Qing'er was hesitant to speak, Qian'er comforted her: "Don't worry, the Nian family has no idea about the Zhong family's strengths and weaknesses. With Brother Tianci here, it's okay."
Not far behind Qian'er and the others were the brothers Tianci and Renjie. Tianci was feeling a little uneasy, and he told his brother Hong Renjie for the nth time: "You are not allowed to leave Madam for a moment, and you must not be careless. Do you hear me?" Hong Renjie assured him: "Brother, don't worry. Madam is so kind to us, I will definitely protect her with my life. By the way, since you feel uneasy, why don't you persuade Madam not to go?"
Hong Tianci explained, "It has been many years since the Great Zhou Dynasty has had a new cultivator of the Void Refining Realm. This is a big deal. Madam is the head of the Zhong family, so it is difficult for her to shirk responsibility. In short, we brothers must not be careless. I have a bad feeling that something might happen this time." Seeing his brother being so serious, Hong Renjie also put away his little bit of luck and said fiercely, "If anyone really dares to hurt Madam, I will kill his entire family!"
